Interesting... I visited the site today because my two year old ER-6i's developed the same problem this morning. I think I'll just see if Ety will fix it for a reasonable fee. PS - Dr. Morbid: eeeeeewwwwww.... it might be time for new foamies

Headroom has them for $219, which ends up being $198 with the 10% head-fi discount (use coupon code headfi04).

Thanks for the info. Can anyone else offer their perspective? Or just let me know of good prices on the ER-6i's? *** A friend is just an enemy you haven't betrayed yet.

Interesting... So in general how noticible is the microphonic effect with the 6i's? Is it something you are constantly aware of when moving? Unfortunately PalmOne does not carry the ER-6i's on their Canadian site, so I'm out of luck there.

I have narrowed my choices of canalphones down to the ER-6i and the e3c. Based on a lot of reviews, the consensus I get is that I will prefer the 6i sound. However, the e3's are said to be better for microphonic effects and occlusion while walking. I would be wearing them a lot while walking, so...
